The m68k port is still going strong - actually it has been so foryears. We have a very stable kernel and I'm currently working withLinus on getting our patches integrated into the native kernel.

Richard Hirst has ported Linux/m68k to the MVME 162, 166 and 167 (aport to the 142 is in the works), see http://www.sleepie.demon.co.uk/for details. I dont know anything about the MVME176/177 boards but Ithink it should be rather easy to support these new boards based onRichard's existing work.
